The under ground railroad is not really an "underground" railroad it is just a road to freedom. This was one of the few ways a slave could escape slavery is through the underground railroad and help from a abolishinist . This was not easy but could be done. One slave even managed to get around 300 slaves out through this underground railroad. It took days of walking and it was already hard enough to get away from the dogs and the hunters. When slaves escaped a big bounty was set on each escape slave. When Harriet helped out the slaves she mostly got them to pennsylvania.
